PROJECT DEV SETUP

Beginner-friendly tool that sets up a coding environment for common programming languages. It is designed for people who want a guided setup experience instead of manually installing everything one by one.

What it does

The tool installs the language toolchain, sets up Visual Studio Code, and installs the recommended VS Code extensions — all in one guided flow.

Supported languages

1. Python
2. C
3. C++
4. Java
5. HTML / CSS
6. JavaScript
7. Rust
8. Go
9. All languages (installs everything)

Installation

First, make sure Python is installed.

Then install the package with:

pip install projectdevsetup

How to run it

You can start it with either command:

projectdevsetup

or:

python -m projectdevsetup

How to use it

1. Start the tool

Run one of the commands above in your terminal.

2. Pick a language

The tool will show a menu like this:

============================================================
  projectdevsetup - Zenith Open Source Projects
  Automatic Developer Environment Setup for Beginners
============================================================

  Which programming language do you want to set up?

  1. Python
  2. C
  3. C++
  4. Java
  5. HTML / CSS
  6. JavaScript
  7. Rust
  8. Go
  9. All Languages

Enter a number from 1 to 9.

3. Let the setup finish

The tool then goes through these steps:

1. Installs the selected language tools
2. Sets up Visual Studio Code
3. Installs recommended VS Code extensions

4. Start coding

Once setup completes, open VS Code and start writing code in your chosen language.

Important notes

• The tool needs internet access to install packages and editors.
• Some installs may require administrator or sudo permissions.
• Installation success depends on the operating system and external installers being available.
• If VS Code or a language tool cannot be installed automatically, the tool shows a manual fallback message.

Development and testing

Run tests from the repository root with:

$env:PYTHONPATH="src"
python -m pytest tests/ -v

If you are on macOS or Linux:

PYTHONPATH=src python -m pytest tests/ -v

Build release artifacts with:

python -m build
